A World’s 50 Best Hotel Hosts a World’s 50 Best Bar: Line Bar Takeover at Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens

Festive flair. World-leading talent. Real purpose. Avra signs off the season with the final Great Sunday Club of 2025 at Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens on December 14, 2025. The special festive edition unites Avra’s celebrated mixology with inspirational talent from Line Athens – listed as #8 on the World’s 50 Best Bars list – in support of the Save Your Hood organisation. From 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm, creative cocktails, community spirit, and a resident DJ soundtrack dazzle at the Athens Riviera retreat, named #17 in the World’s 50 Best Hotels.

An Event with Purpose

With both Line and Four Seasons Athens among the highest ranks in their fields in Greece, the event is a chance to raise a celebratory toast. But at its core, this Great Sunday Club is all about giving back. In Avra’s spirit of joyful connectivity, a percentage of proceeds supports Save Your Hood – a movement restoring the bond between people, their neighbourhoods, and nature. Through volunteer-led clean-ups, repairs, planting, and more, the organisation has grown into a transformative force for good across Greece and Cyprus.

“Teaming up with Line Bar for this final, festive Great Sunday Club of 2025 feels like the perfect mix of creativity and community,” says Avra Bar Manager Nikos Tachmazis. “We’ve crafted cocktails, and a joyful event, to mark this year’s thrilling achievements for both Line and Four Seasons Athens. It’s a celebration rooted in the season of giving, bringing people together to support Save Your Hood’s work to make Athens even brighter and better."

Mixology Maestros

Avra channels its signature alchemy into a night of mixology magic, joining forces with Line to create six cocktails. Co-founded by award-winning bartender Vasilis Kyritsis, Line blends Mediterranean-industrial chic with a circular-economy approach – fermenting its own fruit wines, beers, and sourdough, and transforming production waste into inventive, classics-inspired sips. A cocktail bar with a conscience, Line echoes Avra’s ethos of seasonal cocktail craft, spotlighting local and garden-to-glass ingredients.

Athens-born Vasilis Kyritsis brings nearly two decades of mixology mastery. He honed his craft at Greek bars Pere Ubu, Eclipse, and Aperitif, before founding The Clumsies – a nine-time World’s 50 Best Bars honouree – and earning two Top 10 International Bartender of the Year nominations. Kyritsis is joined by talented Line bartender Aggelos Zempekis and Avra Bar Manager Nikos Tachmazis – an award-winning mixologist renowned for crafting experiential cocktails that tell stories and stir emotions.

Creative Serves

Six crafted cocktails (EUR 14 each) serve up pure festive spirit. Line’s inventive creations include a Negroni with bright, botanical notes of gin, vermouth and a bitter aperitif. A Gimlet unites vodka, fermented pear, chamomile and a hint of blue cheese for a fragrant, unexpected twist. Line’s third creation is a Paloma which bursts with fresh, fruity effervescence, fusing tequila with lemongrass, ginger and pink grapefruit soda.

Avra’s concoctions, created by Tachmazis, include Orange, a bold yet delicate blend of mastiha infused with chamomile and orange leaf. The indulgent Dairy fuses cognac, white chocolate and mascarpone, brightened with green apple. Reimagining a classic, the N/A White Sangria combines non-alcoholic white wine with spiced peach and apple juices for a fragrant, warming blend.
